He's still kinda funny , but all the steroids he's been taking have made him look way too freaky  :shock: ( as if he wasn't freaky looking enough already)

Walmart/Sam's Club for obvious reasons.

All Proctor & Gamble products - Crest, Ivory soap, Oral-B, Scope, Pantene and Vidal Sassoon, Tide laundry detergent, Bounce dryers sheets, Pringles, Bounty and Charmin paper products, Iams pet food, Gillette razors, Duracell batteries, Pampers, Folgers coffee and about a "bazillion" ( ;) ) other things.  They make so many things that I basically check the back label on every consumer product I'm not 100% sure of.  Just can't support the #1 animal testing company on the planet.

That must be hard, I've found that there are two companies that no matter where you go in the world, you'll find their products. P & G and General Electric. They make fucking everything!!

I agree with everyone's comments on the state of retail...it's really bad. But on the flip side, most consumers have turned into rude, arrogant a-holes. I can't believe how many times I see some customer berate a clerk over something really minor. It's no wonder these employees don't give a shit. They deal with BS all day long.

My wife used to work at Bank of Montreal. I know banks aren't innocent here, but the amount of abuse these girls take is crazy...the company never backs the employee in a conflict, they just cave to the ranting customer.

I boycotted Manchester United F.C. after the Glazer takeover, cancelled my supporters club membership and started supporting a team that wouldn't turn its back on its fans

I boycott Wal-Mart, mainly because it's full of crap! (apart from the useful things I bought, heh). I only buy free-range eggs and try to stick to non-animal tested stuff. Don't eat meat, but try not to buy fish that is too environmentally-sensitive, which is not that easy.

I also tend to boycott those product-placement items you see in movies - it's really lame, drives me mad and makes me want to buy it less. I did notice a certain beer being casually featured in the TPB movie, I don't know if it was deliberate but it happens to be really good stuff, so that's alright then...

That's a big change from the normal fuzzed out labels !  :shock:
Would it be too much of a spoiler to tell me which Beer it is ?

I boycot any movie with Tom Cruise in it, lol 




OK, that can't be very much of a hardship for you.

 If I could read the fine print on stuff I would maybe try to avoid stuff from the RJ Reynolds group of companies.  And stuff with nutrisweet, I am worried that some of my money would make it's way to Rumsfeld.
